February 12, 2021 Leave a comment Health Care and Life Sciences, Undergraduate

The practice of health care providers at all levels brings you into contact with people from a variety of faiths. This calls for knowledge and understanding of a diversity of faith expressions; for the purpose of this course, the focus will be on the Christian worldview.

Based on “Case Study: End of Life Decisions,” the Christian worldview, and the worldview questions presented in the required topic study materials you will complete an ethical analysis of George’s situation and his decision from the perspective of the Christian worldview. (ATTACHED)

Provide a 1,500-2,000-word ethical analysis while answering the following questions:
1. How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the fallenness of the world?

2. How would George interpret his suffering in light of the Christian narrative, with an emphasis on the hope of resurrection?

3. As George contemplates life with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), how would the Christian worldview inform his view about the value of his life as a person?

4. What sorts of values and considerations would the Christian worldview focus on in deliberating about whether or not George should opt for euthanasia?

5. Given the above, what options would be morally justified in the Christian worldview for George and why?

6. Based on your worldview, what decision would you make if you were in George’s situation?

Remember to support your responses with the topic study materials.

Level 1 Activity 5

February 12, 2021 Leave a comment Not set, Undergraduate

For this activity, you will be creating a questionnaire (the list of questions used for a survey). The ASU PR team has asked you to create this questionnaire to evaluate an upcoming campaign they are planning. The overall goal of the campaign is to increase the number and dollar amount of donations for ASU research from major donors. Remember, they plan to conduct this survey to evaluate the success of their campaign so it is different from initial formative research. For the purposes of the activity, you can write the questionnaire for the final evaluation and assume any relevant items needed for benchmarking will be included in a pre-campaign survey. The team has already created an email list of all the potential major donors – your questionnaire will be sent to that list.

Here is what needs to be measured:

They had several attitudinal objectives related to the campaign that need to be evaluated:
increase perceived prestige of ASU
increase perceived importance of research done at ASU
increase perceptions that ASU will competently manage donations
They would also like to measure the final goal of donating. They have donation statistics but would like to be able to see how the attitudes above actually correlate with donating behavior.
In order to link their actions with the outcomes, they want to measure whether each donor was exposed to the campaign tactics. The tactics are email, social media (Facebook and Twitter), and a special event potential donors were invited to (you can call it the annual gala).
They would also like to include demographic information so they know who they were successful in reaching.
You are welcome to include additional items but you need to write questions that address everything above. Questions should be multiple choice or have a number-based answer so statistical analyses can be conducted. I know we haven’t actually discussed writing survey questions so refer to this article for some good tips: https://www.qualtrics.com/blog/good-survey-questions/

Any topic (writer’s choice)

Read the following scenario and answer the question in 510 sentences

1. Steve issues a 30-day negotiable promissory note, payable to the order of Henry, to cover the cost of Henry buying a car for Steves racing operation. Steve signed the note, but the amount on the note is left blank. Henry has clear instructions that he is not to spend over $5,000 on the car. Tired of being Steves lackey, Henry fills out the note for $10,000 and sells it to First Auto Bank for $9,500. The bank has no knowledge that the amount on the note was originally left blank or that the amount of the note was to be capped at $5,000. Thirty days later, the bank comes to Steve wanting $10,000. As the bank manager, what is your argument to Steve to collect on the note.

2. On April 4, 2014, a press operating company sent a fax including the following information to a metal plate manufacturer:

Size TU. Quantity 25. $45 each. $1,125 total. Ship to our warehouse in LaGrange, KY by May 1, 2014 Payment 10 days from delivery.

The manufacturer immediately sent the following fax in return: Order is accepted. Ship by May 1, 2014 Interest on balance over 30 days at 2% per month.

No other communications took place. On May 6, 2014, 20 metal plates meeting the specifications were delivered, along with a note stating that, due to manufacturing difficulties, no other plates of that specification could be delivered. As the press operator, how would you respond?

3. Shovel Supply Wholesale purchases 1,000 shovels from a manufacturer under a financing agreement, which has been properly recorded under the UCC in the businesss home state in the amount of $50,000. Petes Depot, a regular customer of Shovel Supply, pays cash for 75 shovels to Shovel Supply, and the shovels are delivered to his business. Two weeks later, a representative of the manufacturer shows up at Petes demanding the 75 shovels because Shovel Supply has defaulted on its loan. How do you respond if you are the owner of Petes?

The first person “I” is not used in a formal essay.

No secondary sources are to be used in the process of writing this essay; it is to be entirely written based on one’s point of view and supported with body points and details.

Please be sure that essays include only the thoughts, words, and ideas of the writer.

Essays must be double-spaced in Times or Times New Roman font (12 cpi) with standard one-inch margins

A well-organized essay has a beginning, middle, and an end. The beginning, or introduction, should include an opening sentence to grab your readers attention. Follow the opening sentence with a very brief background on the story to be discussed. Be sure to always include authors full name in the introduction of the essay. After that first instance, only the surname is used. The last sentence of the introduction is the thesis statement. The thesis states the main point of the essay, which in this case, would be a literary analysis of the short story.

A well-supported essay includes supporting points, details, and examples. For this essay, you must decide the best way to organize the body of the essay. For example, the body of the essay may be divided into paragraphs addressing character, symbolism, and theme. In any case, each body paragraph must support (explain) your interpretation (analysis) of the short story. Each body paragraph should begin with a topic sentence that states the main point of the paragraph.

The conclusion typically summarizes the main points of the essay and/or closes with a lasting impression that connects the reader to their world. You may wish to offer a reason as to why the short story is still read in educational settings after so many years or why the storys themes are especially topical in our society today.

Cultural Differences

February 12, 2021 Leave a comment Other, Undergraduate

Learning about other cultures is essential to doing business globally. What might be considered the norm in one culture may not be considered the same in another culture.

Your business deal with Sanjiv, a South Asian executive, has been proven to be difficult because of cultural differences. Sanjiv insists on dealing on a handshake and not bothering with detailed paperwork and legal processes. You, on the other hand, feel uncomfortable entering into a multi-million-dollar deal just on a handshake even after years of positive dealings with Sanjiv. Write Sanjiv an e-mail to resolve this issue while maintaining cultural sensitivity and respect.
